Leaving The Nest

Graduating? Moving? Got two tickets to paradise? We're sad to see you go, but understand that sometimes life takes you to new places and new beginnings. We have come up with a guide we feel will meet your needs as you prepare to depart from Georgia Southern.

If you are a Faculty or Staff member your account will be terminated shortly after your departure from Georgia Southern. This guide will help you with your transition period and will save you time, energy, and stress.

Alumni

As an Alumni, you are given your @georgiasouthern.edu email address for life. This is done so that when applying for jobs former students can keep a professional email address (instead of: meowkitty94@seriouslydude.com) and retains your access to your Google services that you've grown to love.

Sad Eagle is sad to see you go. :'-(

Sharing and Transferring Ownership of Google Drive documents
